Ruben Amorim enjoyed a “special” night at Old Trafford on Thursday.
Manchester United beat Bodo/Glimt 3-2 in the Europa League, marking his first win as Red Devils boss.
It was not a straight-forward night for the new head coach, who found himself 2-1 down in the first half.
But a Rasmus Hojlund brace was enough to hand United the points in the end as they move up the standings.
And Amorim reflected on the occasion and spoke about the good, the bad and the ugly on his home bow.
Speaking after the match, he said: “Of course, I see what everybody sees, good moments, difficult moments.
3️⃣ points in Ruben’s first home game 👏#MUFC || #UEL

“There was some confusion in the end trying to hold the result, but the lads did a great job. They ran, they pressed, they tried to do the things we have worked on in the last three days and we won!
“Half of the stadium doesn’t know me, I came from Portugal and I did nothing for this club. Yet the way they make me feel at home is special.
“I will keep this to the end of my career.
“Like a real ride. We started well, but then suffered two goals in two transitions. I like the way the players tried to play our game.
“Sometimes we won the ball and have had problems in the past giving the ball away too much – the mindset is keeping the ball.
“They are really trying and I think we deserved the win.”
